How can you help?

In an average month, CTLC volunteers provide food, clothing, utility assistance, and counseling to between 450 and 550 families.  Because all assistance is free, CTLC depends largely upon financial donations from individuals, churches and organizations to provide this kind of service to the individuals and families who need it.

As good stewards of the resources that God has provided, we try to ensure that every gift that CTLC receives is used to provide assistance to those who come in for help and to keep our facilities operational.  All of our staff are volunteers; none of them receive pay from CTLC.  This keeps our overhead costs to a minimum.  In addition, CTLC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization so all of your gifts are deductible as charitable contributions for income tax purposes. 

It is very easy for you to donate financially to CTLC.  To make a cash donation, please send a check or money order to

Churches Touching Lives for Christ

P.O. Box 4482

Temple, Texas 76505

 

You may also make a donation online.  Just click this button to go to a secure PayPal site to make your donation: 

End-of-year contribution receipts will be sent out for all financial donations over $200.  However, if you need a receipt for a donation of less than that amount, we will be very glad to send you one.  Just contact our office.
